I had the impression that the medicine was entirely made up for telling stories to Interpol purposes.

That's what I thought too- Nate as the Unreliable Narrator.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Head canon accepted. I think it only even made me wonder because Nate and a sick, dying kid who needs medicine is Thing. Which is also what makes it a great story for them to use in the con.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Exactly.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oooh, I was wondering about that too, but that does make sense.

That was a pretty great series finale, and I can't really imagine how they would have planned to continue the show after that. I mean, I suppose they could have (would they bring Nate and Sophie back in or just let them actually leave?), but it really works as the end of a series in an Angel way: "Let's go to work." I wish we had seen more of Nate's grooming Parker, Hardison, and Eliot. There was that one scene with Hardison in the premiere, and maybe a few lines here and there, but the scene with Parker was a bit weird because we haven't really seen him bringing her in the planning, have we?

Nice job, Team Leverage.

I agree with this.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wow. And huh. Finally caught up on Leverage, and I have no idea how John was only 50/50 on renewal/cancellation a month ago. Did they have a different ending in the can?

Amazing how different Parker looks in red. Amazing how amazing Parker looks in red. Nah, not amazing. In the sense that she usually looks amazing.

Would her and Gillian Jacobs playing sisters be too matchy matchy?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Finally caught up with the Leverage series (sniff!) finale. Loved it. Loved. I loved that even though Nate won, Sterling basically got the last word. I loved that they left two happy couples happy and coupled. And I'm intrigued that Parker is taking Nate's role as the face of the company; I would have thought Hardison. But he's also better less known/behind the scenes.

Also, on a complete tangent, I want to see Beth Riesgraf. in a TV or Movie adaptation of Questionable Comment as Hannelore. Maybe Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Martin?

OMG yes. She's perfect.

OMG yes. She's perfect.

I mean, right? Parker doesn't have Hanners hangups, but I think Beth R could do and amazing job of them just the same. Quite possibly the only actress I can think of who could pull her off and not make her a total joke, aside from maybe Emma Caulfield back in the day.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I finally watched the final two episodes last night. It was a great finale. The beginning of it reminded me a little of "The Shroud of Rahmon".

Wow. And huh. Finally caught up on Leverage, and I have no idea how John was only 50/50 on renewal/cancellation a month ago. Did they have a different ending in the can?

I'm guessing that they would have been pulled back in, blackmailed, or given a job they couldn't ignore, but I'm almost glad it did end, because it was a great ending. I'd like to think that they ended up with some other people in the group eventually because it seems that just the three of them pulling off the cons might be difficult.
